"Seeing your kids kind of surpass you is awesome – Uma Thurman"

Los Angeles, June 25

Hollywood actress Uma Thurman, who is known for her work in ‘Pulp Fiction’, ‘Kill Bill’ film franchise and others, is one proud mother. The actress, 55, appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and was asked by the talk show host how it feels to watch her kids become actors in their own right.

Thuman shares daughter Luna, 12, with ex Arpad Busson and daughter Maya Hawke, 26, and son Levon Hawke, 23, with ex Ethan Hawke, reports ‘People’ magazine.

“I was telling you backstage, I had a nice thing happen walking down the streets of New York. I ran into your daughter Maya in the street”, Seth Meyers said. "And you have two children now who are just incredibly accomplished performers”.

The actress said, “Well, I have three who are very accomplished. Two who work for it”.

“I very much apologize to the one who’s not putting the work in”, Meyer joked. “She’ll get there”.

As per ‘People’, the comedian went on to ask the ‘Kill Bill’ star what it's like watching her two older kids, Maya and Levon, take the stage off-Broadway for the first time.

“As a mother, you know, honestly, I’m so proud of them and they’re so together, and honestly, seeing your kids kind of surpass you is awesome”, Thurman said.

“I wouldn’t say that they’ve surpassed you, but they’re”, Meyers said, getting cut off. “No, but I just think they’re amazing”, Thurman explained. “I think they’re so talented. And so you’re always anxious that the circumstances all support the best outcome. The only thing that makes me nervous is I want them to have the best circumstances”.

Maya recently made her off-Broadway debut and is currently starring in Eurydice, while Levon starred in Ghosts at the Lincoln Center Theatre, which wrapped this past April.

It's so heartwarming to see a Hollywood star being such a supportive mom! In India, we really value family bonds, and Uma Thurman's pride in her children reminds me of how our Bollywood stars like Neetu Kapoor support Ranbir. Family first always! ❤️

Maya Hawke was brilliant in Stranger Things! But honestly, no one can beat Uma Thurman's iconic performance in Kill Bill. That yellow jumpsuit is legendary! Indian action heroines like Priyanka Chopra should take notes.

As an Indian mom, I completely relate to Uma's mixed feelings - pride but also worry about your children's future. Though our kids might become doctors or engineers instead of actors, the emotions are the same! 😊

Interesting to see Hollywood nepotism debates are similar to our Bollywood discussions. But credit where it's due - Maya and Levon seem genuinely talented, not just riding on mom's fame. Hope they continue to prove themselves!

Uma's humility is refreshing! In our culture, parents often struggle to accept when children surpass them. Her attitude of celebrating their success rather than feeling threatened is something we can all learn from.

While it's nice to see celebrity parenting moments, I wonder if we focus too much on star kids when there are so many talented newcomers struggling for opportunities. This happens in both Hollywood and Bollywood.
